10 REASONS WOMEN ARE AWESOME

It has been accepted beyond doubt that men and women are
both integral parts of society. Just like the wheels and tyres of a car. All
I’m saying here is that women are like the wheels and men are like the tyres-
replaceable.

There are arguments like the tyres, protect the wheel and the
wheel would get bent without the tyre, but twisting a metaphor doesn’t hold. The
quintessential fact is, that the tyre is pointless without the wheel... again
just a metaphor.

Now, I’m no feminist or masochist, in fact I’m mostly a
realist when it comes to other people. I am however vastly sarcastic, which you
will notice soon enough or not, depending on how intelligent you aren’t and
how foolish you are. Also read:What Happens When You Chase Your Dreams

Also this isn’t some sort of men versus women debate; it’s
just my appreciation of the fairer sex. Take none of this seriously if it
offends you, but do take it with a pinch of salt and see if it mends you.

1. They Create Life

I mean this rather literally. I’m simply talking about the
ability to give birth. Man may have made the air-conditioner and the Jacuzzi
(which are my 2nd and 3rd favourite inventions
respectively) but women make men- literally. We men may contribute to the process of
procreation by graciously sharing our sperm but that’s nothing close to conception! The
painful yet joyous gift of giving birth as they call it, was set aside for
women only.

Let’s start with the fact that women literally produce milk.
They create nourishment! There is nothing that we men produce that can compete
with that. But hey... we can order delivery like clockwork! That’s got to count
for something right? Well, not really.

3. They Listen

It’s an uncontested truth that women talk as much as men if
not more! They definitely complain and crib in front of their spouses, as do
men. However very rarely are they looking for our advice. Women usually speak
to either express or to direct. Like when they want you to fix the plumbing or,
change the bulb.

They could do it themselves but they’ve got men; much like the
Egyptians had slaves. And guess who the pyramids belong to? Not the
slaves. Although, horse playing and
jest aside; whenever a man is truly sad and filled with sorrow, he can find true
solace only in the arms of a loving woman. It could be a mother, a sister, a
wife or just a friend. It just has to be a woman who listens to his problems
and helps him with solutions.

4. They Are Built To Rule

March a woman into a room full of men and an instant master-slave
relationship is born. All men, right from the inarticulate to the suave, go
into pleaser-mode.

That’s before one man manages to woo a woman. The one who
manages to win the heart of the woman is victorious but few men understand what
victory means. You will woo them with the promise of queenly treatment and then
fail miserably trying to keep that promise. The best a man can do, is serve
well till he dies. Also read:What Are You Doing With Your Life?

I think all social systems were made pro-men, by men, to
ensure that this natural equation is warped. That whole “Behind every
successful man is a woman who blah blah blah...” phrase basically means that
women own our asses.

5. They Remember Everything

Before journals, diaries and super computers were made...
there were women. They figuratively remember everything. Every mistake you’ve
made, every smile you’ve brought out, every fight you started and every
argument you will lose; every being the keyword there. When you’re young they
are mothers who know where you socks are and what assortment of spices it takes
to make the perfect chicken curry. When you go to school they remember the
homework that “you forgot to do” and so on and so forth. Women remember
everything!

6. They Don’t Need Men

This is perhaps the scariest fact and it is indeed stranger
than fiction. A lot of men think women ‘need’ them- these men are simply in
their natural state of idiotism. The appalling truth is that women don’t need
men. Men have been over the ages been able to create such an illusion, using
pro-men social systems. An illusion that an unfortunate section of the world’s
female population falls trap to. The truth however is that women don’t need
men. Tampons, Ice-cream, warm water and mirrors are more important that men
are... true story. Also read:How Men Fall In Love

7. They Look & Sound Better

Most men are like huge sub-serviced, rickety trucks and sound
like poorly-wired, second hand door bells. Women on the other hand are angelic
creatures, as has been said time and again by poet after poet and thinker after
thinker. Women are beautiful inside-out and most men like their selfies, even
the ones in which they pout. (Just needed to use the word selfie for this
article to be categorised as- in vogue.)

8. They Are Wiser

Women are wiser. They don’t obsess over some sort of
unattainable perfection like men do. Women make multiple decisions
simultaneously. Most men spend the same time making one good decision and bask
in the glory of that one right move. It’s almost embarrassing to be a man at
times. Women are teachers, professors, muses and more. All great men will tell
you so, there’s no one as wise as a woman you know.

9. They Love Better

Men are suicidal lovers; always trying to prove a point.
Being a man I find nobility is such love. Despite all the hits and misses, I
still believe love has to be extreme; there is nothing controlled or average in
love. Many women however have cracked this case; their love is one that strives
to survive. It’s primal really; men are wild suicidal bearers of affection.
This is perhaps why; when a relationship goes south men tend to cut off
completely. Women however know many forms of love; they merely tinker with its
intensity.

10. They are selfless

Most men are partially if not completely selfish; and there
is nothing wrong in loving thyself, but most women are quite the opposite.
Women are almost programmed to care for others. Being selfish may let them
shine in this delusional man’s world but in their own hearts, nothing pleases a
human being more than to care selflessly for others. And women are more human
than men ever will be. I may be wrong though, about it all. What do I know? I’m
but a man.

Anyway. This was just meant to be a sarcastic, funny and confusing read and anyone who takes these thoughts too seriously will be a fool or not.

Depending on how you react to them or don't. At the end of the day we're all human.

I’ve heard polarizing reviews from people about this film and
really wanted to put my two cents out there. I’m pressed for time and can’t do
an in-depth review. So, here’s a list of reasons that I think make Trapped a
film you should go watch and one reason for you not to.
1) IT IS REFRESHING

If you’re tired of run of the mill narratives and stories
that give you a sense of Déjà Vu, Trapped will stand out. It’s a film about
survival; an emotion so universal that you will feel it (unless you resist it). The
film is not what a lot of people would expect but an educated audience must
readjust expectations and try to accept what the filmmaker wants to serve.
2) IT IS HORRIFYING

What you will notice in the cinema hall while watching this
film is that people will constantly laugh and giggle. This behaviour is similar
to what you witness during horror films. When something begins to feel too real we
tend to shut it off by ridiculing it, do yourself a favour... go watch this
alone or with pe…

A year ago, I left Delhi and came to Mumbai for career
reasons. I wanted to write screenplays for mainstream cinema and Mumbai for
reasons good or bad is the hub of all things ‘filmy’. Having lived here for a little over a year, I’ve
been part of countless Delhi versus Mumbai discussions.
I hate it. I hate the fact that I love Delhi, because I grew
up there. I know the city that it is
and not just the city that people in other parts of the country think it is. At the same time I love
Mumbai too, there are things about the city that I completely adore and it is beautiful in its own way.
I’m the guy who’s defending Delhi, when people in Mumbai pass
uninformed judgments based on what the media has fed them and also the guy who
stands up to defend Mumbai, when people in or from Delhi crib about how terrible
Mumbai is fed by the same misinformation.
There is a sort of elitist air with which people in Mumbai
judge Delhi and there is a similar nonchalant air with which Delhi folk judge
Mum…

Chapter 1- How They Met
There was a protracted queue outside the ladies room of La Mausana. In the queue were young women and old girls. Their attire was so intricate and exquisite that the length of the queue seemed curious.
It was an enormous hotel and it had 51 more ladies rooms but, the young girls had lined up to use this one- the one Shyaah was in. Her popularity in the town of Nisa preceded her and often astonished those who had never made her acquaintance.
A young boy, all of 18 strode with purpose towards the queue. A young woman with bliss like skin came out the door. Her hair was tied up in a bunch and her flawless body was wrapped in a tight red dress. The young boy saw her and walked towards her as if he would consume her but then, he simply walked past her. All the women in the row were looking at this boy; this young, visibly nervous boy who was trying to exude a rehearsed air of confidence.
“You can’t go in there! It’s the ladies room,” the girl in the red dress said.

How many times have you heard someone tell you that it’s the
little things in life that matter the most? Probably more times than you can
count; in fact you’ve probably said the same thing to others several times. So
what are these little things? Not surprisingly these little things are
different for every person and they have the power to turn anyone’s frown
upside down.

There is so much negativity in the world around us, so much
mistrust, judgement, ego, disgust and willingness to hurt others that the
smallest of joys can seem like a silver lining. If you spend a little time
figuring out what these little things are you can make everyday a little more
cheerful. What Are These Little Things?
Like with all great things this too must start from your own
self, let me elucidate (This will sound like I’m telling you my daily routine but
bear with me) so yes... I like to drink roughly half a litre of water the
moment I wake up. I really appreciate anyone who brings me a cup of luke warm

If you have ever had the good fortune of quitting a job;
especially one which you really enjoyed for the longest while- you know how it
feels, to be jobless. You are well versed with, the sudden feeling of euphoria and all that
extra time to sleep and chill with your friends, kill hours on the PS3 and more.

Of course you are also well acquainted with the unprecedented
existential crisis that follows. You soon realize your friends don’t have time
to chill because, they still have their jobs! Also, even though you have a clear idea
about the dream you just HAD TO chase after, let's face it; you don’t know how. You have no step by step plan on how to get to your dream
destination. It could be the dream of becoming a wildlife photographer, a race
car driver, a deep sea diver; essentially any career (If you like that word!)
that seems glamorous & creativelystimulating. For me it
was and still is writing; so while I should be working on a screenplay I’m supposed
to submit in a few day…

You’re on the wrong side of 25, half your friends are
married, some are happily single, some are dating and then there are those who are
in a serious relationship; like you. I don’t need to tell you that
relationships at our age can get fairly tricky.
There is a part of you that doesn’t want to abandon the
endless possibilities of single-hood; even if those possibilities never become
realities. There is of course another part of you and this one’s harder to
please because, it wants you to find someone. Not just anyone, but the one you
want to be with, maybe even get married to.

Forgive me for using the M word; I know a lot of us aren’t ready
for it. We’re either not ready financially or we’re just not prepared mentally
to take such a big step. It’s all understandable and life keeps getting more
and more overwhelming. So, what is it that we can do to make our lives,
relationships or attempts to get into relationships less stressful? Here’s my
take!

Whether you’re…

A lot of us
are overly ambitious, so much so that we are certain we may often be happy but,
will never be content. The desire to
achieve more leads us to seek out advice and this advice often comes from
those who’ve made it in their own right. Now, while
there is a lot one can learn from someone else’s success and there is a lot of
knowledge that might help us; it is still just once sided information. You aren’t factoring in all the other factors
that led your advisor to where they are; factors they may not even realize
helped them. That said,
what leads to success is not a purely objective debate. One crucial thing I’ve
learned is to constantly work on myself, the one factor in the equation that is
under my control. That said, the reason I put this post up was because I
stumbled upon a YouTube video by Bite Size Psych with the same title as my post and it articulated
things rather well. Take a look at the
video…
